Night's Heart

Chapter 7

The Little Ho Hum Day

"Sire, what are you going to do with Syaoran?"

It was a day later and Syaoran was still out cold. Eriol had convinced them that he would be fine once he woke up and that the limited magic Eriol had had been used to cure him. Sakura was still worried. She was worried what her father would do once Syaoran woke up. She was worried about Syaoran. She was very worried about the woman out to kill her. Eriol could tell.

The King sighed.

"I don't know, Lord Eriol. My gut tells me to trust him but how could I ever trust an Orithi after what happened to me?"

"Sire, you know that Syaoran is not evil and most importantly, would never harm your daughter. Besides, Sakura needs his protection. I am sure that the heiress is a Mock Orithi of Darkness so Syaoran's power as Mock Orithi of Light would certainly protect her."

The King nodded. "But Lord Eriol.."

"But most importantly, Sire, could you handle what turning him out would do to Sakura?"

The King turned to glance behind him. Syaoran's unconscious form was tucked neatly into the bed and beside, in a chair, sat Sakura. She gazed at Syaoran's face, her eyes showing a mixture of sadness, worry, and something the King had never seen them hold for a male other than Touya or himself: love. Slowly, Fujitaka realized his little girl was a girl no longer but a woman. His daughter was in love and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He turned back to Eriol.

"You're right, of course. Well, what do we do?"

Eriol sighed. "When Syaoran wakes up, we'll fill him in on what we've figured out. Then, we can only prepare ourselves for the next attack." The King nodded and walked out of the room. Eriol turned to gaze upon Syaoran and Sakura, who had fallen asleep leaning precariously over the bed.

`And begin the counterattack.'

~***~

"There's a WHAT?!?!?!"

"Syaoran, calm down."

"I will NOT calm down! A Mock Orithi of Darkness is after Sakura!"

"I know that, Syaoran. Just take it easy. You've had a tough couple of days."

Syaoran quieted down. He had been beaten up by an awful lot of things in the past few days, including his fiancé. <I>Sakura</I>. She was the target in this attack which he had never thought that tough until the past few minutes. How could he not know? That was what tormented him. He could have lost her during all the times he had been unconscious in the past three days. He was worthless.

"Aw, come on, Syaoran. Let's go do something fun while your still conscious."

"I'll wipe that smirk off your face, Eriol!"

"Just try it!"

Eriol jumped out of the way just as Syaoran pounced. Growling, Syaoran chased him out of the room and through the corridors, ending near the gardens. Eriol smirked at Syaoran, then turned around.

"See, ladies? I told you I could get him out here!"

Syaoran looked behind Eriol to see Tomoyo and Sakura giggling underneath the cherry trees. He just sighed. He should have known.

"Well, what's the agenda, ladies?"

Tomoyo led Eriol out of the gardens, purposely leaving Sakura and Syaoran. Syaoran blushed a little and held out his arm to her. She blushed and giggled, while accepting it and leading him after Eriol and Tomoyo.

~***~

"Okaa-san, its working!"

"Ssh, Kaori! No one must know we are here."

"Gomen nasai, `Kaa-san!"

"Be quiet, insolent child! We must observe!"

Kaori silently nodded and frowned. She was the heiress, so why wasn't `Kaa-san nicer to her? What she wouldn't give for a real family.

To Be Continued…..

FD: Well, that was short. ^^0 Oh well, I had to give Syaoran-kun a break. He's been almost killed about three times in the past three chapters. ^-^0 Oops.

Syaoran: FD!

FD: Uh oh! Gotta go! R+R! This is your authoress, ForeverDestiny, saying "Goodbye and have a pleasant tomorrow!" Ja ne! ::runs from Syaoran:: Where's my squeaky mallet when I need it?
